FRIDAY
Ono of tho results of tlio Saturday ,
jlce primaries Is that tho Fudges and tin:
7:SCTl Fudge-doodles are trying liartl to
slap each other on the wrist.
The loss of n warship during rai"
neuvcrs gives force to the occasional
remark of an officer that practising
the war game Is no child's play.
In the midst of so much talking
on old topics It will he strungo If

lluslncssncn with real hustlo In
their hones will make uso of Improv
ed Inter-Island transportation as a
lover to promote more frequent Inter
Island trips to Honolulu.
Miss Heard's conclusion to throw
up the whole business Is Intensely
human, and therofoio tho peoplo will
not condemn, though, as I-awson
would put It, they wjll grin. i
Now Fairbanks comes forward on
n turlff-rovlslon platform. Where Is
the high-tariff man that Hawaii's llo-
publlcun delegates should hoost be-
t causeihe lg for high tariff and duns
,' to say so. ,
' Ex-Prcsldent Cleveland has dared
' to propose that Iloblcy D. Kvans
"""vTrii "suoUtd lie made a iull Admiral. And
)-t . why 'not? Ho has,proved his light
) J' ' ing capacity nnd. commanded tha
grentcst'poace-flcct of 'history.
Ilefusal of tho Populists to endorse
llryan will holp make tho silver
, tongued brator the special friend of
Wall Street among the whiskered
gentry whose principles of any value'
have been already adopted by Repub
licans and Democrats. -
Hon. A. L. C. Atkinson takes a dif
ferent view from his Anti-Saloon
League associates at the outset. Tho
day after unanimously electing Its
new Superintendent the League finds
It has none, which may suggest that
the laBt stato of tho campaign will
he worse than tho first.
MR. THWING'S AGITATION.
Hov. Mr. Thwlng has brought to
tho 1) u 1 1 o 1 1 n olllco a copy of tho
petition ho has circulated In connec
tion with his Iwllel agitation.
UlBhop Rcstarlck has offered tho
moat pointed commentary on tho pe
tition to enforce tho law at Iwllel
that could be made when ho adds to
his signature that tho law should bo
enforced throughout the whole town.
This paper credits tho majority of
the gentlemen whoso names nro at
tached to the petition with great In
tegrity of purpose uml we have no
doubt they ure enthusiastic in their
desire to reach n solution of the prob
lem that Is vexing every civilized city
of tho globe. Tho appearance of oth
ers suggests that thoy wore fright
ened by tho query, "Why, will you
not sign a petition to enforce tho
law? Do you belluvo In violation of
tho law?" This way of putting It
makes a fair club for, tho man with
tho potltlon; but It does not solvo
the problem.
There Is no doubt of the practical
result of this latest move.
It may bo possible for tho gentle
men who have signed this potltlon to
overthrow whatever control or lack
of control may exist In connection
with the social ovll at Iwllel. This
will not reduco the number of women
plying the trade. They will scatter
over tho town.
In due course of tlmo tho peoplo
will be so disgusted with a wldoly
distributed social ovll that thoy will
lew with un extreme senso of to-
llof a resumption of present condi
tions nt Iwllel.
This condition will go on until
someone elsa lias tho samo sort of a
moral Inspiration that Is now mov
ing Mr. Thwlng and tho wholo un
pleasant business will bo trotted out
to public view,, ugaln. ,
Mr. Thwfngtsuggesta that the law
be enforced and If tho law bo wrong
change It. This Is not a fair presen
tation of tho problem and does not

mean an approach to practical solu
tion. So far ns this paper can learn, tho
number who refused to sign Mr.
Thwlng's petition wns as large or
larger than tho number who signed,
ro thero Is n fair share of thoughtful
public sentiment behind tho petition
that some problems nro not solvil
by stirring tlfem up nnd lllllng tho

(Continued from Pace 1)
"Yes, I was out thero the other day,"
Mrs. Dowsett added. Tho children
would fall and break their nocks bo
,'oro thoy could got out."
"I want to say right now," Mr.
Hutchlns went on, "that unless a
broad stairway is built tlieru, I shall
oppose the. school being opened noxt
term."
Assistant Secretary Cox explained
that tho stairway could bo built from
tho department's appropriation.
"Then," Bald Commissioner Hutch
lns, "I move that tho Hopper resi
dence, known as tha Pohukalna school
bo closed until adequate arrange
ments aro made. School closes today
for a week, I believe, and I think that
tho work can bo dono In that tlmo. At
any rate, I don't want that school re
opened until It Is rendered sale."
Tho motion carried unanimously, all
of tho membors of tho Hoard appear
ing to rccognizo tho seriousness of
tho situation.
Tho Pohukalna school Is taught by
Mrs. Mary Gunn. Sho lives In tho
building, but nono of tho children

Tho Hoard wao called together for
tho purposo of acting on tho mnttor
of allowing tho Federal Judge to sen

requested Hint ho bo allowed to sen

liiitend of to Jail. ,
Thu Attorney General could ea no
lenson why the desired action could
not bo taken. In his opinion, read to
tho Hoard by Chairman Williamson
ho said,
"In the absence of any express pro
hibition in tho statute, thero npears
to lw no reason why you should not
accept offenders go convicted under
18 years of ago, upon making satis
factory arrangements for their sup
port while" nt such schools, including
also tho cost of transportation. Hy so
doing tho Department itHsiimes no re
sponsibility for tho legality of such
confinements. Tho procedtiro to. ho
followed in any case would bo similar
to that now used In case of commit
ments from tho Territorial Courts."
Upon tlio reading of this opinion,
the following resolution was adopted
unanimously;
Uesolvcd, that tho Superintendent
of tho Boj-b' Industrial School bo au
thorized to rocelvo nil Federal pris
oners ofnges within tho rules of said
school nnd sentenced to Imprisonment
thcro and to guard and maintain such
prisoners in accordance with tho rules
of this Institution, nt tho rate for each
prisoner of GO cents per day.
Resolved Further, That a copy of

and that upon receipt by thu Superin
tendent of tho school of the accept
ance of tho terms hereof, a contract
In accordance herewith shall bo con

Mr. Cox explained that Judge. Dolo
had at llrst expressed tho opinion th.it
a charge of 50 cents n day was too
high, but he had showed him figures
as to the running expenses, shontng
that tho cost per day for each Inmate
Is 42 cents, and tho Judge had con
cluded that a C0-ccnt chnrgo Was not
unreasonable, Tho figures weio as

A STATI3MI3NT .
It was stated yeaierdhy that I was
present at tha last meeting of tho
Hoard of Health, during President
rinkhnm'B reply to ccrtnln charges
of co-opcintlou with an Illegal buxl
ness; and that when Invited to Bpcak,
I kept silence. This would scrm to
Indicate n backing down on tho patt
of the Commtttco of tho Civic Feder
ation. This Is a mistake. I was not
ptC2,cnt nt the tlmo mentioned. Thcro
is no intention to break down. Ah
was fully explained yesterday, tho
lWrtl'ori Health HAS beeh'co-oporat-UiB
In this unlawful business. AVC

J'o reasonable 'explanation lias' y6t

the co-operation In this ovll business,
dr take tfio bad name of It. An earn
est, nnd possibly long, campaign has
been begun to. secure tho Enforce
ment of Law' In Honolulu.
I havo no personal ill will towards
President Ptnkhnni. -but I feel that,
considering-1tlie""linportnnt position ha,
now holds, hisiiictlons nnd .his state
ments'' are nio3t.surprislng.aud unex
plained. For tho head of tho Hoard
to take nctlon continually, without

Hoard, teems most unwise nnd not
for tho public good. Nothing Is moro
